    Thanks for the likes.

     

    As a day old newbie I didn't even know they existed until someone gave me one.

     

    I would love to here your suggestions and thoughts

    on improvements, tweaks, and future projects here...

    P.S. I hope I am not in violation of any rules in posting

    Thanks in advance,

    Motherboard Unlocking: "Best mb flash unlocks before OC'g"

    As a day old newbie on this site, thanks to whomever gave this submission a "like"

    http://hwbot.org/submission/2257353_japrestef_3dmark03_geforce_7950_gt_agp_20235_marks

     

    and let me suggest this thread

    as a possible "Best mb flash unlocks before OC'g" discussion venue

    (or if one exists the mod can move this there)

    because I am looking for what should be my next project(s)

    after the 2 I describe here.

     

     

    I am quite proud to have done the above submission

    on just the 250W original oem PSU and all stock cooling

     

    in this 10 year old hyper-threading XP rig

    based off a Compaq retail S5400NX computer

    that I mb bios flash unlocked to a ASUS P4G800-V

    so that I could max upgrade to a P4 3.4 EXTREME EDITION CPU

    and add max memory for a total of

    2 MB of Patriot Dual Extreme Performance sticks at 2-3-2-5.

     

    Add to that an XFX 7950GT AGP as the max AGP GPU

    (ostensibly in its day it held the claim as the fastest AGP ever made

    and hands down beats even today's XFX non OC'd HD4650 AGP)

    For the submission I did overclock the 7950 AGP

    unlike the CPU which was left at stock settings

    because I was worried as a newbie about rumors

    that the AGP/PCI bus can be a fragile issue in OC'g

    and end up corrupting the hard drive.

     

    I hope to get feedback on what more I should do.

     

    P.S. I have yet to start submitting on another rig that I just did something similiar to but with AMD....

    i.e. a retail ASUS ESSENTIO CM-1630 mb flash unlocked to ASUS M4A78LT-M

    permitting me to upgrade from Athlon II X2 220

    to Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition

    which I managed to unlock

    into a very stable 3 core CPU

    and a stable 4 core but only with freq reduction

    resulting in equivalent performance as the 3 core

    and now just

    upgraded to Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition

    all on original oem PSU and stock cooling

    and still on mb integrated graphics.

     

    Again any suggestions with the AMD rig

    especially as to what the end of the line fastest GPU

    is for it that I should get would be helpful.

     

    Thanks to all in advance.

    Pls add motherboard ASUS P4G800-V

    Dear Mod,

     

    I'm new here and want to make sure I am doing things right:

     

    1) When submitting results with HW at stock settings vis-a-vis CPU freqs,

    and GPU freqs etc, am I correct in leaving those fields blank even though others seem to fill in that data field with the stock setting ?

     

    2) If the CPU and GPU come with a stock fan should the result be submitted as cooling:stock or as colling:air ? I could find no place on website defining what is stock vs air.

     

    3) my rig is basically a retail Compaq Presario S5400NX

    but

    I unlocked the mb by flashing the bios over to OEM ASUS

    so now CPU-ID and Futuremark Systeminfo all show it

    the same as its bootup splash screen does

    as a

    P4G800-V

    http://reviews.cnet.com/motherboards/asus-p4g800-v-motherboard/1707-3049_7-30567063.html

     

    I believe that is how I should list it when I submit

     

    If you agree would you add P4G800-V to the mb lists?

     

    Right now I have submitted under ASUS and chipset 865G.

     

    Thanks in advance,
